After saving Bai Yueguang's substitute

【Today's love temperature: 100℃】

919

Xu Zhinian's last exam was on Friday afternoon.

I asked Uncle Yang to park the car outside the school and go downstairs to wait for him.

In a group of students, I saw Xu Zhinian at first sight.

920

He was wearing a black down jacket today, probably because he was afraid of the cold, and a white scarf was wrapped around his neck, hanging long to his chest.

After writing for more than an hour, his hands were probably frozen, he put them in his pockets, and then walked out with a flicker.

Like...a penguin?

921

Even so, he was very conspicuous in the crowd. From time to time, girls turned their heads to look at him and whispered.

Xu Zhinian always said that he was just an ordinary person, but he didn't know how attractive his appearance was among ordinary people.

922

Xu Zhinian also found me soon.

The moment he saw me, his eyes blinked, and then his pace became brisk, almost running towards me at a trot.

When he walked up to me, he showed a bright smile and shouted: "Mr. Jiang!"

I touched his head and responded with a sound.

923

Xu Zhinian asked me, "Why is Mr. Jiang here?"

I wondered: "Didn't I send a WeChat message at noon to pick you up? Didn't you see it?"

"No." Xu Zhinian shook his head and said, "I thought Mr. Jiang would be waiting for me in the car like before."

I calmly explained: "I came earlier, and it's boring to stay in the car. I'll come down and take a walk."

Xu Zhinian did not suspect him, and said: "It's too cold outside, it's still warmer in the car, let's go back quickly."

I said: "Yeah."

924

The air conditioner was turned on in the car, and as soon as I sat in, my frozen body felt much more comfortable.

Xu Zhinian and I sat in the back row. Xu Zhinian took his hands out of his pockets and put them on his knees, sitting upright like a serious student in class.

I asked him, "How was the exam?"

Xu Zhinian hesitated and said, "It's okay..."

I said, "Why are you so unconfident?"

Xu Zhinian laughed twice: "Actually, I have answered most of the questions, and there are two similar cases that I just saw before the exam, so I should have done well in the exam. I just wanted to be humble."

I:"……"

It seems that taking him skiing last time relieved the stress well.

925

The scenery outside the car passed by quickly, Xu Zhinian looked at it for a while, and suddenly realized something, turned his head and asked, "This doesn't seem to be the way home."

"Yeah." I said, "I'm going to have dinner outside today to celebrate that you've finished the last exam and you can be liberated."

Xu Zhinian asked curiously, "Then what shall we eat?"

I said: "Hot pot."

"Huh?" Xu Zhinian froze for a moment.

926

I glanced at him and said, "Last time, Jiang Shengsheng insisted on going to a high-end restaurant. I don't think you like it very much. I thought you might like hot pot and barbecue more."

I asked him, "What? Don't you like it?"

"I like it." Xu Zhinian nodded quickly, paused, and then said, "But I remember that Mr. Jiang has a bad stomach and can't eat particularly spicy food."

I said lightly: "It doesn't matter if it's slightly spicy, you can order a mandarin duck pot at the bottom of the pot."

927

There are not many people in the hot pot restaurant.

I booked a box, and the waiter led us to the second floor.

I seldom eat hot pot, so I just gave Xu Zhinian the menu and let him order what he wants.

He looked at the price above and said, "Why is it so expensive! A plate of meat costs several hundred!"

I didn't think it was expensive, I just said, "It's okay."

Xu Zhinian muttered in a low voice: "No wonder there are so few people outside, and the price is so high, how can ordinary people afford it."

I just laughed: "Just order whatever you want, I'll treat you to eat."

Xu Zhinian: "...Okay."

928

For this hot pot meal, the two of us ended up eating a four-figure price.

When paying the bill, Xu Zhinian still couldn't believe it.

Until he got home, he was still complaining: "That restaurant is delicious, yes, but it's really too-expensive!"

He dragged his tone, nodded emphatically, and continued, "It's a good deal."

I took out a bottle of sparkling wine from the cabinet, put it on the table, and said, "Are you thinking of saving me money now?"

Xu Zhinian stopped talking for a while.

929

He looked at me with big black eyes, and I waved to him and said, "Come here."

As if realizing something, he blinked, and obediently walked over to me and sat down.

I opened the sparkling wine and poured him and me a glass.

Sparkling wine has a low alcohol content, and the taste is not too exciting. It is a rare wine that I can accept.

930

I asked him in a low voice, "Do you want to understand the answer to the last question?"

Xu Zhinian blushed all of a sudden, and he said hesitantly: "Think, I figured it out."

I took a deep look at him and said, "Then tell me."

Xu Zhinian sat there, staring at me blankly.

I raised my eyebrows and said, "Don't you want to understand? Why didn't you answer? Why should I kiss you?"

Xu Zhinian took a deep breath, and then said in a very soft voice, "Because, because Mr. Jiang...Mr. Jiang likes me, doesn't he?"

931

I walked up to him, put my hand on his head, and stroked his hair twice with my fingers.

Then my hand slid down and touched his face.

His face was red and hot, as if he had just said something shameful.

And he looked at me without blinking.

In the depths of the pupils, there is a lot of anticipation and waiting.

As if waiting for my answer and verdict.

932

I said: "Yes."

His eyes turned red all of a sudden.

I bowed my head and planted a kiss on his eye.

"Niannian." I said, "I like you."

933

The moment I said this sentence, I suddenly felt a burst of relief in my heart, as if I had lost some burden.

I have been in constant denial of this for so long.

I told myself again and again: I can't and won't like Xu Zhinian.

And my heart is angry at my self-deception.

It kept roaring, roaring, saying: You are wrong!

I ignored it.

934

And now, I'm finally starting to face it and admit it.

I asked Xu Zhinian for an answer, so I was asking for an answer for myself.

At this moment, my heart finally got his wish.

935

I admit, I really like Xu Zhinian.

933

The next second, Xu Zhinian reached out and hugged me.

He hugged her tightly, as if grasping at the last straw, and refused to let go.

He buried his head in my arms, as if crying, his voice was choked.

"Mr. Jiang." He cried, "It's not that I don't understand, I just can't believe it."

"How could Mr. Jiang like me?"

"I'm so ordinary. Compared with other people, I'm nothing. I have nothing. My past was so bad, and I'm so bad now. I can't give you anything."

"Mr. Jiang likes me... This matter is like a dream, I dare not think so at all."

"Such a good thing, how could it be my turn."

934

I kissed his hair again and again and said, "It's not a dream, Niannian. You're not ordinary, you're not bad, you're not bad. You're good, you just don't know it. I like you, your Everything makes my heart beat."

Xu Zhinian's tears fell down in big drops, which wet the clothes on my chest.

It hurts me to cry.

935

It took a long time before he stopped crying, sniffed softly, and got up from my arms.

"Mr. Jiang..." He called me, his voice was a little hoarse now after crying for too long.

I said, "I'm here."

He asked me, "Am I really not dreaming?"

936

Unbearable, I lowered my head and kissed his lips.

It was an aggressive kiss.

The tip of my tongue went in, as if I was inspecting my own territory, and ravaged it arrogantly and domineeringly.

His body completely softened.

937

After a long time, I let him go and asked in a low voice, "Do you still think I'm dreaming?"

Xu Zhinian blinked, looking dizzy.

"...it's more like a dream," he said.

I:"……"

Xu Zhinian said: "It's still a very, very beautiful dream! The kind that I would never even dare to dream about!"

"Oh." I said blankly, "Then your dream has come true now."
